I built a new 960 sq. ft. garage this past summer and am still trying to get it set up the way I want it. I had not noticed a lot of radio interference since I usually listen to AM talk radio, but on weekends I like to listen to music. Switching over to FM created a whole new problem this winter...

Most shops I have been in have some type of epoxy coated floors, including working garages and dealerships. You can tell which one's use the water based, cheaper stuff as compared to the industrial product...I saw one a few days ago that had been down for 10 years and still looked great...this...

I just bought a 60 gallon IR from Tractor Supply after they put them on sale for 100 bucks off. Mine says made in USA...I saw the exact compressor at Lowes and it too said made in USA...as someone stated, that may mean assembled in USA. At my old place before moving from KY to TX, I had an 80...

I built a 40x50 steel building, welded, insulated, and ridge vents, and gutter system, back in 2003. Mine was turn-key, with two 12x12 doors, one front, one rear, one 10x10 front, two garage door openers, four windows, one pass through door. 12 ft. wide driveway 160 ft. leading to a 40x52 apron...

@ Paul from Kentucky...where in KY?

I really don't know but if you study the pages of their web site and read the comments from those who have used it, it's great stuff and reasonably priced. I will be ordering up 1000 sq. ft. worth next week at a cost of around 600 dollars total. I plan on prepping and applying myself with some...

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Love it! Very cool...:thumbup:

Considering my ceiling height and the angle of the ceiling joists to get the 12ft. ceiling with only 10ft. walls, they had to use hi-rise door tracks and overcome some geometric issues, so installation was a bit more than it would normally have been. Two openers installed were around 500 dollars...

Re: Texas 24x30x12 Shop Build Nice! Your place looks very similar to mine when I built in Haslet back in 2001/2002. The layout is exactly like the one I used when I built my 40x50 steel building. I also had a pad down the left side of the building (looking from the driveway) that was 60x15 so...

I am in the process of finishing out my new 32x30 garage with 10' walls and 12' ceilings, 4 windows, 1 16x8 door and one 10x8 door, 1 entry door to 16x10 covered porch. My HOA insisted the building had to match the house exterior with same shingle and siding, which in my case is Austin stone. (I...

Those look like the doors I just had installed on my new garage by Over Head Door, and I also used the Liftmaster 8500 openers. One of my doors is 16x8 and the other is 10x8, very well insulated with composite rollers...very quiet. The openers automatically lock and unlock when closing and...

I recently built a shop out back, 32x30 and had debated on which to by, 4 post or two. I had a sissors lift in my old garage at my old house and it worked fine for most of the stuff I do, which means mainly working on front wheel drive race cars, etc. However, if one wants to work on exhausts...

Looks good Hoosier Buddy...where are you located in Indiana?

Mine is 24x34, with a 20x24 extention, separated by a 12ft. wall, with 12ft. opening to new extention. Ceiling in original section is 9ft., ceiling in extention is only 8ft., all white ceilings. I have 10 3ft. 2 tube lights in the original section and it seems to be plenty, except over a couple...

I had to return every piece of Central Pneumatic stuff that I bought... even the inflator with gauge leaked, and otherwise didn't work... Lessons learned. I't over 20 miles each direction to the HF store in my area...don't think I will be returning anytime soon...except to return the inflator...
